First quarter of 2015 sees impressive growth for UPS

American parcel giant UPS has recently reported an increase in its earnings growth within 2015’s first quarter. The parcel company has witnessed “robust” international growth and an improvement on their US domestic situation.

UPS saw its operating profit rise by 11% to $1.7 billion during the last three months. Despite its revenue increase, the company has said its continued investment was paying off.
